Bull Dog Tonkatsu Sauce

Probably as close to homemade tonkatsu sauce you can get. Flavors were all the and has that tangy taste to it that other store bought sauces lack. Other sauces tend to taste more like bbq sauce, but this is pure tonkatsu sauce.

Bull-Dog Vegetable + Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce is a pantry must, in my book. Tangy, rich, and insanely versatile for a buffet of dishes: case and point: Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish of breaded deep fried pork cutlet and yet my husband and I are pesco-vegetarian and don't eat meat aside from fish. Yet this 'deep fried pork' sauce hits the mark for us for fried tofu, broiled salmon, Morning Star vegetarian "chicken" nuggets (my favorite use for this sauce) and just as a simple dipping sauce for french fries and root vegetables such as carrots. I also love to add this sauce to homemade gravy, soups and stews, and chili. See? Versatile little bottle!Details on the Product:Size: 10.1 fl.oz (300ml)Serving Size: 1 Tbsp (contains 20 servings)Nutrition Per Serving:Calories: 25Total Fat: 0gSodium: 360 mg (15% Daily Value)Total Carb. 6g (2% DV)Sugars: 4gProtein: 0gIngredients:Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Distilled Vinegar (made from alcohol), Tomato paste, salt, modified rice starch, apple puree, yeast extract, spices prune paste, carrots onions and lemon juice.CONTAINS: Soy + High Fructose Corn SyrupPERK: Does not contain wheat according to the ingredient label, nor do I or my husband (who are both gluten sensitive) have any bad reactions when consuming this product.Taste: If you were to dilute A1 sauce with worcestershire, ketchup, sugar and lemon juice, you'd get a similar taste to this Bull-Dog tonkatsu sauce. If you aren't a fan of tangy, this might not be for you.Shipping: I ordered this March 23 2014 and it arrived March 25 2014, securely packaged and without any damage. I was very pleased.Expiration: It is always a risk, it seems, buying food on amazon hoping the expiration date isn't past or a week away- but I was happy to see the expiration date was November 2015. Trust me, it won't last two months in this home. We're crazy for it!I hope this was helpful. If you're on the fence on buying this product, I say go for it. It isn't for everyone. Whereas I loved it at hello, it took a few meals until my husband was a big fan (he particularly enjoys it as a marinade for white fish and salmon, I imagine it works great for chicken and steak in the same manner). Don't think of this as just a sauce replacement for A1, ketchup or BBQ. It stands on it's own, and makes a great addition to add some variety to your weekly meals. Enjoy!

Like a milder Worcestershire with a hint of Heinz 57 plus the sweetness of tonkatsu sauce. The texture and consistency is that of a steak sauce. I'll never go back to using A1 or other sauces again for pork chops or steaks.

Delicious!

It's very similar to A1 steak sauce mixed with ketchup. Surprisingly delicious

I love this on some breaded pork or chicken cutlet. I like several brands, but this one is pretty iconic. Never had a problem with the product freshness or anything. It's kind of like a savory ketchup or a fruity bbq sauce. The bottle is smaller now, but lasts us a while because we just use it for one or two dishes now and then. The value isn't bad if you get the two pack, too.

You just cannot have chicken katsu or tonkatsu (pork) without this sauce, some white rice and a side of thinly julienned cabbage. What’s nice about it is it will last forever. The high fructose corn syrup is the second ingredient in the list (not the first). And, most importantly, it tastes so good. As the honorable say when they enjoy a good meal, “It taste’s like home.” Wherever home may be, this sauce will transport you there. Actually, let me clarify. It will likely only trigger nostalgic feelings among the people of Japan and the Japanese diaspora. Every country has that one food thing, right? Like Italy has pasta, France has croissants, and Ethiopia has injera. But wait, I guess for Japan, that one food would be sushi. Not this delicious sauce. Yeah, that makes more sense. Anyway, this is a delicious sauce and you should try it.

Sweet and Tangy.Started making tankatsu because my local grocery store always has pork cutlets on discount and wanted to just start buying sauce for it since making the sauce was about as much work as the rest of the dish.A lot sweeter than the sauces I made at home but not overpoweringly sweet.
